I always like to think about what would have transpired had the rise of Islam gone differently. Like, I remember that one of the Byzantine emperors was supposedly friendly with the religion early on (I am remembering only super vague details, but it was something along that line). What would have happened if the Roman’s had actively built relations with the Arabs during the conquests? What would the world look like if the eastern Roman Empire had co-opted the religion as the Roman’s had done with Christianity? Just kinda fun to think about.

Thing is, originally islam started as a Christian heresy. Think Arianism vs Chalcedonian. It only became what it is now, later on. So its much less “Byzantium converting to islam” and much more “Christian flavour being changed”. That’s why it wasn’t far stretched to even consider the idea.

Amazing gameplay, but I gots to see more of anbennar soon, man! One of my favorite mods on steam right now

Really like the style of this video, i would definetly not mind seeing more videos like this. the scenario also seems very fun, maybe play byzantium next?

Do a campaign in extended timeline in the 1300s when the Ottomans appear (Technically irl the Ottomans appeared in Sogut in 1299 but in the mod its northeast of Sogut in the 1330s or so) and try to reach their irl borders in 1683. That might be a cool challenge!

Loved the way you told us you knew everything about this timeline, then immediately forgot that Ali was assassinated!

Would it be funny if instead of continuing in Europe. You just decided to put your focus on China ? I don't know how that works in this mod. But surely would make you soooo much stronger. And might also be a bit of a challenge, if you're up against the Han dynasty.

If you stick to it and manage to deal with governing capacity issues, the Rashidun mission tree sets you up for easy WC if it weren’t for that. The permanent modifiers you can stack from controlling entire areas and flipping them to Muslim are absolutely insane and OP AF. It doesn’t really matter if you go after the Chinese or Europe. Altho it’s far easier imho to get the bonuses from European conquests since there are much more of those rather than in India and China. Also since they’re scattered among multiple countries, and weaker, makes it much easier too.

Yo fellas this was a great video One video idea I had was restoring the Persian Empire as the Bavandids in Mazandaran - you've probably read this from the three other comments I left on other videos, which I'll keep doing much love :)

The Kushan empire (Indo-Greek kingdom) is also a pretty fun one!

By the way, it doesn't matter if anyone gets into your land during war. You can let their entire army in, and their provinces will be free to take. It doesn't matter what they occupy because the war won't end with a peace deal if you siege every province.

DUDE. What you do with the first and seconds Fitnas is you let them occupy your land. Then you'll transform into the Ummayads (and Abbasids with the second Fitna). Don't waste your time fighting them, keep your armies (and your manpower) far from the rebel stacks.

Its better to just let the rebels do their thing and accept muawiah as the caliphate, but if you defeats them as fast as they spawn the fitna will end and the name will change from rashidun to alids

play as avalites in year 56 take all the techs via cheats and go for a world conquest. the fun is dealing with rebels and letting some client states do your job for you(or not and later dealing with them)

How about restoring hellenism or druidism or something like that? I think the faiths are still around in like 700 AD somewhere, I'd like to see you have a more challenging start ;)

I remember once playing as Rashidun, then overcome First Fitna, somehow i stay Rashidun but one of my vassal in Ethiopia (i forgot the name sry, the one just opposite of Yemen, there is a strait connecting them) suddenly become Ummayad. And yes, they stay as my vassal, idk why or how Is it possible that somehow the rebel got into my vassal territory while i didn't see, and manage to force it to accept their demand while i was busy doing something else??

Tunisia world conquest when?

Maybe founding the Carolingian Empire in EU4?

You should have chosen the other ruler! The Umar guy set up the Ummayad dynasty. In the Game it says you that “more ummayads are joining” This wouldn’t have happned as bad

It's ilke twitch chat rising those rebelions. XD

Two things, next time, hold as byzantium or as zoroastrian persia, or maybe make an alt hist with someone in india fighting the rashidun lol, in particular a persian run would be interesting

I wonder if you can avoid the First Fitna by going with Uthman and keeping him alive, since theoretically that would avoid the Battle of the Camel and thus the death of Mu'awiya comrade's and if Uthman is alive Ali cannot be accused of his assassination, meaning Mu'awiya can't use that as a reason to declare war, plus Mu'awiya is related to Uthman Or maybe the mod just forces Uthman to die, thus electing Ali and inevitably heading towards the First Fitna

I one time tried doing it when the Rashidun’s first appear in I think 630…? Whenever the tag first appears with Muhammad, but the game constantly got bugged that even with Muhammad around, the Rise of Islam event that spawns the Rashiduns in that offers you the chance to switch to them, with Muhammad as ruler would keep happening. And so even if Muhammad swaps for Muhammad, since his death or him no longer being leader triggers the Death of Muhammad event, which starts the long event chain leading to the general chaos following his death, you’re trapped losing him and the crap that follows. Ruined that game.
